Can't wait until Ron Paul is president of the US!
When people start seeing Ron Paul break his promises, they'll have no choice but to think for themselves

What promises has he broken so far? You do realize how long he has been making promises, how long he has been acting upon those promises, and how long he has been in government right?
He may not have broken any promises yet. I just think he will. And if he does, I think it'll be better for society than if he keeps his promises. Because faith in the idea that we can pick other people to do all our thinking for us will start to erode.
The problem with electing Ron Paul for President is not so much that he will break his promises, but rather that he won't be able to fulfill them. There's a difference. Even if he manages to get elected he will likely have a hostile congress to contend with and will find it very difficult to accomplish anything. Presidents don't have as much power to change the system as we like to think.
